Mexico 2007

i'm always consumed with our spring break mexico trip for a couple of weeks. here's a few thoughts from this year's trip...

after all these years, i still love to hear singing around the campfire

work trips bring out the best...and sometimes the worst...in people

i love the people of mexico

i am always reminded that mexico is a "work in progress". unlike our country, where people have to have things right now, the people there are content to build with what they have and are willing to wait until they have a little more to continue. the patience and contentment blows me away!

there's a lot of nothing between dallas and elpaso

bucket showers get easier with age

leaving wanda for a week at a time does not get easier with age

i wish i were in a place that required me to learn to speak spanish

there is something really empowering about serving

it was awesome to see our college young people step up into leadership on this trip
